(Hapygourious) Reposted from the Dead or Alive Video that applies to this video aswell for some select few.
From weenop: "Also, regarding concerns pertaining to the use of a certain word at several points in the video, I would like to clarify for new viewers that I, weenop of Brain Alert! (the guy who made the video), am a black man of mixed ethnicity."
thanks for readinbg :)
Oh we knew he was a brotha
First off, one person could point out that a balance issue is actually something that makes sense in lore. Because you are going up against enemies that are trying to kill you, and people trying to kill you don't normally want to give you a chance at survival - and will therefore do what it takes to kill you. The Germans were not thinking about how to balance out their mustard gas weapons, and they sure weren't trying to balance the wonder waffa. But that cutscene for the gold fiend, was because in the normal game you typically first encounter a flying fiend in that or a regular scene in that cutscene. But that depends on whether it's path of the acolyte or path of the warrior, and they still left the cutscene in - so they went and showed a higher level fiend. Basic, winged, and gold.

Homie whachu talking about
Weenop please keep saying the N word you make it sound so raw and sophisticated
Lol, just thought you'd been watching a bunch of Atlanta recently
''At first it was easier,but when the testers said ''this is too difficult', I made it even more difficult.''
-Itagaki
As a player who has achieved beating Master Ninja in all 3. “Ninja Gaiden isn’t meant to be played. It’s meant to be beaten” is the best way to describe NG.
Good job! I did the first 2 but not 3. 3 pisses me off! They were lazy as hell!
Someone once described Ninja Gaiden’s enemy design as “most games are designed to have the player kill enemies, Ninja Gaiden is designed to have the enemies kill the player.”
Yes unlike DMC you will get the best score the more enemies you kill. It doesn't matter how.
I think I’m gonna try lol
@@lordmalice8368 That section where you are in the car and flying guys are shooting missiles at you is so bullshit that I could never for the life of me finish Ninja Gaiden RE on Master or Ultimate Ninja.

>yeah i gotta say this game is perfect and i love it
this has been the best essay review i have seen on this entire shitass platform
i want more
shush
Gotta say this is genuinely the perfect way to wrap up the whole NGII experience :>
RPG’s he said 😂
Ninja Gaiden II’s enemies took the phrase “death before dishonor” to the extreme.
The staircase fight made me think of the movie 300 and the fact the original hardware can’t handle it and makes it go slo-mo like the movie is just…10/10 😂
i wat a 300
Part 1: Excited to talk about this amazing game, here’s some background.
Part 2: JESUS CHRIST SO MANY ENEMIES WTF WHY WOULD ANYONE MAKE A GAME LIKE THIS AND WHO WOULD HATE THEMSELVES ENOUGH TO PLAY IT??
Part 3: 10/10 game’s a masterpiece.
So I beat Sigma 2 about 7 times back on PS3. And the Vita version once where it's basically always running in half speed.
This game can be absolutely infuriating but when all goes well, there's really nothing like it. It's a masterpiece.
Your style and sense of humor remind me of the legendary "Metal Gear Solid 4 Was a Mistake" video, which is definitely a huge plus in my book. You've earned another sub.
You need to swear more, I watch these videos with my dad.
I dont get it
He needs to talk about sex and stuff more, I watch these with my creepy uncle
@@reddie1705 exactly.
@@jermeyanderson9231 he's called Papa Rubs for a reason :))
@@NardoHidnLeef someone commented a long while ago something along the lines of “stop swearing alot i watch these with my mom”
Glorious review. Hope Ninja Gaiden makes a comeback
Absolutely ⚔️
A ninja gaiden hood classic man.
This video gave me the motivation to complete sigma 2 and play OG Ninja Gaiden 2 for the first time. Thank you great weenop for this masterclass.
Also that Staircase. Absolutely divine. The slomo slaughter is a core memory for me
First Ninja Gaiden vid with "Nigga" in the script 😂
But on a serious note your channel deserves way more recognition some of the best gaming content rn especially for action games
Technically his last video had it in the script too.
We can only hope for NG4 some day….
In today's soft ass generation?
@@darkkinggaming7988facts but sadly
I mean team ninja already said NG series and DOA series will have reboot on board.
@@boringinu2077 WOOO!
Try nioh 2
I watched both videos entirely, its amazing to see more people showing this franchise some love even after all this time. Finishing Master Ninja mode with every single encounter and collectible in both Black and Sigma will forever go down as one of my proudest gaming achievements. Fantastic reviews 🙏🙏
thaaaaat is legendary
Awesome use of JAM Project for the final fight!
You're one of the best game reviewers on CZcams, keep it up man. I came for the DOA video, and now im staying for everything you put out.
Dude between the S tier jokes and the awesome music choices. Sold once I heard impending doom start up in the background. Amazing video man.
Team Ninja has never been the same since the 2000s. Hood Fucking Classic.
they got a few Ws with nioh and wo long
@@tahaelhour690i can’t stand their story telling but all their games have amazing gameplay so I just force through them.
Wow. This is an impressive in-depth vid. Glad to see you enjoyed NG and NG2 despite not knowing about some of the advanced mechanics like Guard Buffering and Shuriken Canceling since they help smooth out the difficulty and make the off-screen projectile spam less annoying.
I recently bought Master Collection to replay ng2 after like 10 years and finally having a chance to play the first one and 3RE (unfortunately never had an xbox so i never experienced the vanilla 1&2) and just discovered this channel...Man i cant explain how good your videos are. You literally put your soul in these 8 hours long series, so rare to see a player talking with such passion about these action games, that are often so underestimated (besides games like GoW but we all know that is REALLY different stuff). Thak you so much to remember me why, despite all the nonsense and enormous issues, i 've been loving ng2 like a sibling since i was 11. Cant wait for the 3rd masterpiece of a video!
you should emulate them, it's more than worth it to experience the originals and xbox emulation is pretty good these days. it's a shame to see anybody settle for playing a remake - the original is, by definition, always the definitive version.
@@Just.Kidding eh I tried to emulate Ng 2 and ended up getting a super bad Trojan haha I'm not good with these things sadly. I couldn't find the iso for that game, only for Ng 1 but I heard it's not so different from the sigma, unlike ng2 and sigma 2
You should give Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Black a try, it's a mod on Nexus that reverts most of the changes back to vanilla 2. Although I would wait a month or so, he's (Fiendbusa) releasing an updated version of the mod that doesn't require Cheat Engine to install.
While you're at it, get the NM mod that restores most of the gore back to Sigma 2
@@Pelayum oh I heard about that, Ty for the suggestion. Btw you know how to emulate Ng 2 original? Still can't find a way haha
@@richardrice3321 I do not, unfortunately. The way I play vanilla is through backward compatibility on Xbox Series S/X
Your best option is probably Xenia. I would look up installation guides, like UrCasualGamer and such.
Like your videos, very thorough and detailed. There aren’t a lot of people that talk about DOA and NG, so it’s nice that I found you.❤
I replayed the vid 4 times so far
Thx for creating such a masterpiece review
Your videos are great man. I'm glad the DoA and Ninja Gaiden videos gave your channel some deserved traction. I wish the best for ya and hope people stick around for other stuff you produce!
Love your videos man. Its crazy how your videos can be long ass hell, and you’re still funny the whole way through.
One of the best ninja gaiden 2 videos on youtube this really has to be one of the best games ever made and it deserves a lot more recognition. Say what you want about Itagaki but he is a mad genius
1:41:15
Slaughter To Prevail over Ninja Gaiden goes so hard, you're so fucking based. I'm a huge deathcore fan myself.
The "FUCK OFF" when he throws Ryu away is so fitting too.
Just discovered this channel via the last video. Dude your channel is refreshing! Just a bro who who loves violent videogames. Love this, I wish you success
1:04:29 as a huge NG and Impending doom fan,
Seeing those combined made me happy.
The only time I thanked the algorithm for helping me find your channel
Ninja Gaiden 2 was absolutely insane and demanded so much skill. And I really like that. The creator was insane in a good way, brilliant even.
Great vid 🙏🛐📿
Hope the best for you and for the algorithm. This masterpiece deserves some recognition.
I was pitching a tent the whole way through; could only wish I had just a fragment of your dedication🗿
Masterful video about one of my favorite games of all time, great stuff.
The humor, the music choice, the humor, the appreciation for the finer things in the game, the humor, there's so much about this video that I like.
Did I mention that you're funny as fuck? Keep up the quality content, king.
I was already caught off guard with the Cheshyre music, but the A.a.R.Y. joke made my day. I never realized how thematically similar these two series were.
I twisted the hell out of my ankle with the moon shoes I begged my mom to get me.
I highly appreciate the enthusiasm 🙏
3:11:22 he censored the FEET oh my god thats actually fucking funny
💀 best game review dawg
Just stumbled on in and was blessed with this video. Weenop my guy you absolute genius patiently waiting for the next vid!!
I found you by the dmc video and then ended up rewatching your ninja gaiden 1 video like 5 times, only then did I see how low your subs were and that's frankly criminal. I subbed and commented for the alghorithm, here's to more great vids
Dude! The fact you beat NG2 on mentor without spamming the dual swords 360Y i-frames, the lunars overpowered 360Y UT, the talons flying swallow izuna drop, and the tonfas UT, is very impressive! It's even more impressive that you used the flails as much as you did. Mad respect! You are a true gamer.
No he sucks lmao. No use of counterattacks, limited usage of OT for i-frames, no using Wind Path and Wind Run to crowd control, no shuriken cancels etc.
He should have beat the game on Normal first, practiced some moves and techniques and then tried to tackle Mentor. He just suffered for no reason.
😂 C'mon he should beat Master Ninja.
Honestly using Death Will Reign during that first test of valor says it all. Fuck, this game is amazing, beating master ninja mode for the first time was all it took to burn me out from video games for literal years.
So worth it though.
Came here after the doa and black video and they are all great, interesting video style. I think your series will be the gateway for me to actually give 2+hours long videos a chance especially giving the fact I’ve watched all of them entirely
This is the best channel I have ever found on CZcams. Thank you man, you are legitimately so fucking funny and kept me entertained and invested for 4 straight hours
The method.
Absolutely an amazing video. I'm a fan of your channel now. Mind blown, you're very entertaining and fun to watch bro. I hope you find great success on this path! Good luck!
If it is good at the beginning, it's good until the end, I can tell it's the best essay of the games in the first 30 seconds
This is some high quality content, I was surprised by the sub count tbh. You need more and you will get them man.
The dual katanas are also found without purchase on the ground floor of the statue of liberty behind the glass display on NG2.
1:20:02 the way he said nigga had me rollin😭😭
Fr I literally kept replaying it I was dying dude
I literally had to GC for a minute cause I was like is he black lol?
😂😂😂😂
1:19:58 is the correction
@@slice_through_time bro
Your content and humour Is top Tier , keep up the good work man
I have never laughed so much watching a video and your colorful commentary. Keep up the great vids.
yeah this goes hard as fuck
Hilarious. Good stuff. Subscribed! Love the NG series and am planning to replay it soo,
I love how you synced bone golem headbanging with metal af soundtrack xD
This channel is the best thing to ever happen to my life
just finished and wow this is gold just like the first one
I can’t wait for ninja gaiden 3
Man I literally saw a hole 4 h review of videogame i will never play. Really good man, I had a great laugh, towards the end especially!
P. S Your neighbor Hose must be a real badass
I found it charming and blatanly hilarious how much you love Itagaki san😂
Ughh that intro went hard 🔥 god i love ninja gaiden
holy shit man, that was great the hell levels art its so good it really holds to today's standart, also a lot cutscenes are very bad ass. Never played the game I might now.
Bro that stairway was my absolute favorite. It was the pinnacle of my autism scratch after having to acclimate to the gaiden up until that point. Totally irrational and awesome
This is entirely too true of a review, I remember spending months trying to beat this game for the first time. So many of the reactions you gave were spot on to what I felt dealing with this trashterpiece for the first time. Well done good sir well done
OG NG:2 was the first and one of two games in my life that INJECTED words and testosterone into my mind. *Death Cyclone, Murder Tornado* and the fact that Sigma 2 toned that down makes my inner madman vomit
I felt insane when I impulse purchased Sigma 2 for a dose of that sweet nostalgia and was bitch slapped by how different it is from Gaiden 2. Gotta say, I do love some of the new stuff though. Ryu based and real for assassinating liberty
52:07 - 52:15 is probably one of the best lines from this video
dawg, I just wasted the past hour watching this vid instead of finishing up my assignment. Why is this lengthy vid so entertaining? Also, great music choice. Another statement, love the cool editing introducing bosses.
Great video. Funny asf and good metal, deserves more notice.
Ninja gaiden and Meshuggah

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 has one great addition.
NGS2 Black is a mod that exists.
This video is the youtube equivalent of crack.
Well done man, i'm speechless.
"Joe Hayabusa" is actually accurate, albeit that it should be written "Jo Hayabusa"
Edit: Alternatively it can be "Jō" or "Jô"
First off: your videos are *Master Ninja* status approved. Amazing stuff.
My first NG game was Sigma on PS3. Managed to do everything 100% (this was before trophies can into existence). Now where things got crazy was Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
I got it on release and was adamant to get the platinum. There was 1 thing that was stopping myself and others - the co-op missions. You’d see the same names playing all the time to try and get this. About 10 of us (USA, Japan and me from the UK) were playing it non stop but it was beyond brutal. It took approximately 2 months and 2 weeks to get the platinum and I was only 23rd in the world to get it. It’s arguably one of the most dedicated and harsh experiences I’ve had in gaming but sharing it with others who shared the sentiment even with a language barrier with players from Japan.
The fact that games like this don’t exist anymore (bar DMC5) is a shame. Majority of gamers don’t like these harder games.
Ninja Gaiden II was hands down my favorite game for ages. SOoooooo good.
Holy shit never realized how Madness Combat music and Ninja Gaiden blend well together
Whenever I see a thumbnail like this I know I'm in for a treat
Did I finally make it to ninja gaiden tube? Great! I'll enjoy my stay
I had a tough time starting out in Ninja Gaiden 3, trying to get back into it after not touching it since I was a kid, but once it clicked, I remembered everything I love about the Ninja Gaiden series.
madness combat music, a man of culture i see, you earned a sub my boy
Team Ninja has been killing it lately. Would love to see them come back to Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden was one of the first games i played as kid that had what we call today that Souls like difficulty.
I remember renting the OG Ninja Gaiden 2 and getting all the way up to chapter 3 as a kid....Gigadeath...was the bane of my existence
The funniest part is that everything you said about what Tomonobu "it isn't harrasement if I quit first" Itagaki would say or do is that they're absolutely possible and he would do them if he had the power or chance.
I love the OG xbox 360 version, the test of valor on mentor mode finished me. Nightmare fuel
I was lmao at 1:04:20 That test of Valor was literally a nightmare and I was screaming at my TV screen when I finally beat that god damn challenge. For some reason Team Ninja put one of the hardest challenges at the beginning of the game when it's unlikely to have a maxed out weapon. So especially your fighting near 100 ninjas with limited ninpo, freaking insanity.
it’s more than sextillion if it was 100 it would be over quick
Just finished watching both the ninja gaiden videos loved it. Just waiting for the 3rd one to see ur opinion cause that’s one the black sheep
Good transition from black to two in the animation at the end of the chapter 11 fight 👌
i actually LOVE Ayane's "high pitched nagging" it gave a sense of urgency and importance and it felt like there was an underlying MISSION and those were little hints (along with the audio cue) made it feel ORGANIC
Gotta say you're freebird edit on that bike scene was primo.
Would get a 360 just to play this fucking masterpiece
If you have an Xbox Series S/X or an Xbox One X, you can play it at higher resolutions (I believe Series S is 1080-1440p and Xbox Series X/One X are 1800p-4k) and stable 60fps with HDR
I want you to know as soon as you showed Dagra Dai starting the fight with the BS Lightning Attack. You brought out like 10+ years of repressed PTSD in me. You're absolutely evil. I subbed.
I didn't know I needed a 4+ hour cuss laden video about Ninja Gaiden 2, but here we are. Thanks man. I actually installed the Master Ninja Collection rather than my yearly romp through DMC4 or 5. You delayed Dante for Ryu. No small feat. Also, you reminded me we haven't seen hide nor hair of this series for too long. Ryu Hayabusa is too badass a character to not have a modern entry.
Father Bone looks cool as hell. His attack animations are dope too
Truly I remember the hours of frustration 13 year old me had with this game but I also remember truly remembering feeling like a true ninja it's so fun
Really? Do you truly remember remembering truly feeling like a true ninja when you remembered your truly 13 years old self truly playing the remembered game truly?
Yes dude I dressed up like a ninja and played this game LMAO
DOGG, I love y’all’s content. Keep it up, hope y’all doing well
I been keeping an eye on this channel and after finally watching this -- I have found the true successor to Running Shine. This is a high praise IMO.
ninja gaiden 2 is just crack cocaine that is high on meth and weed
Genshin had quite the impact on Ryu
“hayabusas little cum….”
I played sigma 2 and finished it on Master Ninja difficulty. It is been a very long time but I remember I really felt like a Master Ninja after finishing it. You became a better gamer.
Amazing video and love the fact that you are using madness combat music
man I get such weird nostalgia when you guys just randomly insert the madness combat series music lmao. I forgot how many of those games I played and how many times I watched the series until I see it mentioned or it's music played somewhere. Great long-form video retrospectives/reviews by the way.
